"...a computer system on the ship that was just horrible."

I've read of a captain ordering a 'flotation test' for an evil computer. True, the story is science fiction but the author was an experienced sea captain. "The Sister Ships", A. Bertram Chandler, in Alternate Orbits, 1971, aka The Commodore at Sea, 1981.
